[GWL]: Garden Writing

A colleague of mine has been collecting Books on Gardening dating back to the 1600's. The text is very much the same throughout this period as it is today.There is the transition from food production for human need to planting to improve esthetics,but the general farming practices are similar.The noticeable change is the Introduction of New Plants,whether it was for the gardener in the 1600's to produce more produce for his Family,by using these New Cultivars or the revolution of the Introduction of the Newest Tulip,worth more in the late 1800's than any appreciating stock market. The 1930's and 1940's slowed innovative plant research to a trickle ,until the Marshall Plan of the Post World War 2 Era. Plants became important again,for active Food Production and as part of the re-building of the European Continent. Late in the 20th century and early into the 21st century,We have, the phenomenon of the richest and most highly educated population ever ,coupled with them being the largest percentage of the entire population. And they are on earth at the same time. They desire beauty and instant gratification and have the money to pay for it. They don't want to get dirty. They have discovered or been brainwashed into recognizing New Is Better. New Movies,New Cars,New Software,New digitally produced Beatles C.D's.,and of course E-mail and the internet.The largest percentage of the Gardening public is Female and she would like to read about and be able to purchase New and Exciting products for the outdoor living space that add Beauty and enhance the Garden Experience.
